- Experience with programming (preferably in object-oriented languages - C#, C++, Java, Python), relational databases (preferably SQL Server), and XML

- You will be integral to delivering the projects that you are working on
- Our environment is highly collaborative; therefore, you will find yourself being asked to help design solutions as often as you will ask for help yourself

- A typical day would involve a variety of activities, involving the whole lifecycle of a project
- Provide expert guidance to clients throughout project delivery, from requirements gathering to solution implementation

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Collecting, processing and using data can be incredibly challenging, especially when done at scale. Xceptor solves this problem with its data automation solution, to make it easier for businesses to tap trusted data and create better customer outcomes.
Xceptor was founded in 2003, making it a longstanding player in the automation market. In 2021 the company was bought by Astorg, which has helped to accelerate its product development. The company also has strong relationships with big-name corporate clients like EY and Finastra - strong evidence of the value of its technology.
Xceptor's main challenge is to compete with other no-code automation software companies. That said, the backing of Astorg should help to ensure this legacy player remains competitive in the years to come. It is moving ahead with further development and securing yet more impressive partnerships, such as with KPMG in 2024 with whom Xceptor will build automated tax solutions.
